Archaeology for Beginners offers a crash course in the fundamentals of archaeological work. It is the go-to place for student and volunteer archaeologists attending their first dig, or for anyone with a passion for human history who wants to find out more about what archaeology is all about.
As well as including a practical guide to archaeology – covering research, surveys, excavations, and laboratory analysis – it also vanquishes many prevailing myths about archaeology that Hollywood has helped to instil within the general public. Myth number one: Archaeology isn’t easy. It’s a precise science; not a matter of grabbing a shovel and digging at random. But don’t let that put you off. Without digging deeper, there’s no challenge, and without a challenge there’s no excitement…no breakthroughs…and no breath-taking discoveries.
